Enhanced textareas

Via Leonard Lin, a nice demonstration of an enhanced HTML text area (with buttons to add tags) that works in IE, Mozilla and Phoenix. Until recently this had not been possible thanks to a long standing Mozilla bug.

Doesn't seem to like Netscape either (just deletes all my text and puts in the code that I'd clicked on). Been waiting for something like this (that works) for a while though.

B2, the blogging software has something like this... It worked for me in Moz... I didn't try other browsers.
